Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a method of providing burst timing in a base station (BS) of a mobile communication system, and in particular, to a method of providing forward and reverse burst timing with respect to the time of using a supplemental channel (SCH) and a supplemental code channel (SCCH) for rapid transmission of a large amount of data in a BS, taking into account a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode.
  • BS base station
  • DTX discontinuous transmission
  • the present invention relates to a method of providing burst timing definable with respect to the use time of a physical channel and the start and end time of data and a method of supporting an AAL5 protocol for high-speed data transmission between BTSs by a base station transceiver system (BTS) and a base station controller (BSC) in a mobile communication system under a radio channel environment which allows high-speed data processing.
  • BTS base station transceiver system
  • BSC base station controller
  • Typical CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile communication systems provide mainly voice service, but the IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunications-2000) standard has been developed to additionally provide high-speed data transmission.
  • IMT-2000 mobile communication systems are capable of transmitting high quality voice and moving pictures, as well as Internet browsing.
  • a CDMA mobile communication system is comprised of a BS including a BTS and a BSC, a mobile switching center (MSC), and a mobile station (MS).
  • Radio links between an MS and a BTS include a forward link directed from the BTS to the MS and a reverse link directed from the MS to the BTS.
  • All channels are divided into physical channels and logical channels.
  • a logical channel is set on a physical channel and it is possible that a plurality of logical channels are set on one physical channel. If the physical channel is released, the logical channels are automatically released. However, a physical channel is not necessarily created to set up a new logical channel. If a physical channel that can carry another logical channel has already been occupied for other logical channels, all that should be done is to assign the new logical channel to the already established physical channel.
  • Physical channels are categorized into dedicated channels and common channels according to their characteristics.
  • the dedicated channels are so named because they are dedicated to communication between a BS and a particular MS, and include a fundamental channel (FCH), a dedicated control channel (DCCH), and a SCH.
  • the FCH compatibly used with TIA/EIA-95-B, transmits voice, data, and signaling signals.
  • the common channels indicate channels, commonly shared by a BS and a plurality of MSs.
  • a forward physical channel transmitted to the MSs from the BS is a paging channel
  • a reverse channel transmitted to the BS from an MS is an access channel. These common channels are compatible with IS-95-B.
  • Data communication in a mobile communication system is characterized by bursts of concentrated data transmission interspersed between long periods of no data transmission. Accordingly, the next generation mobile communication system is developed in such a way that it can operate in a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode in which a dedicated channel is only assigned when there is data to be transmitted.
  • DTX discontinuous transmission
  • DTX mode frame data is transmitted only when transmission data exists in a wired communication system or in a mobile communication system. Hence, if transmission data is absent for a predetermined time period in the DTX mode, frame data is not transmitted.
  • the DTX mode has the distinctive advantages of minimum transmission power, reduction of the strength of interference which adversely affects the system, and increase of total system capacity.
  • the DTX mode is supported on a DCCH and an SCH. Because of this, the DCCH can be used as a control channel which provides an efficient packet service. In DTX mode, null frames are transmitted on the DCCH for power control and no data is transmitted on the SCH.
  • DTX mode null frames are transmitted on the DCCH for power control and no data is transmitted on the SCH.
  • dedicated traffic and control channels are connected only during actual data transmission and released during non-transmission periods while in the DTX mode. Communication is conducted on a common channel while the dedicated channels are released. As a result, the usage efficiency of the radio resources is increased.
  • Various channel states are set according to channel assignment and the presence or absence of state information in order to implement the DTX mode.
  • FIG. 1 is a state transition diagram for a typical packet service in a mobile communication system.
  • a packet service is comprised of an active state 11 , a control hold state 12 , a suspended state 13 , a dormant state 14 , a packet null state 15 , and an initialization state 10 .
  • Service options are connected in the control hold state 12 , the active state 11 , and the suspended state 13 .
  • the present invention pertains to a base station which supports the DTX mode on an SCH and a DCCH in the active state 11 and the control hold state 12 .

This procedure is executed to establish an SCH between the source BS and the target BS when a large amount of high rate data is received from an external Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) or data is to be transmitted by assigning the SCH upon call origination from an MS.

Abstract

A method of establishing a supplemental channel (SCH) to provide burst timing for high-speed data transmission in a mobile communication system is disclosed. In the SCH establishing method, a source base station transceiver determines that a traffic burst exists and sends a target base station transceiver a burst request message. The burst request message includes forward and reverse burst timing information and channel use time information, which is determined in consideration of a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode, in order to reserve necessary resources, when a large amount of high rate data is to be transmitted. Then, the target base station transceiver sends the source base station transceiver a burst response message including information about resources committed to the traffic burst.

Description

This Application claims the benefit of 60/133,790, filed May 12, 1999.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a method of providing burst timing in a base station (BS) of a mobile communication system, and in particular, to a method of providing forward and reverse burst timing with respect to the time of using a supplemental channel (SCH) and a supplemental code channel (SCCH) for rapid transmission of a large amount of data in a BS, taking into account a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode.
Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of providing burst timing definable with respect to the use time of a physical channel and the start and end time of data and a method of supporting an AAL5 protocol for high-speed data transmission between BTSs by a base station transceiver system (BTS) and a base station controller (BSC) in a mobile communication system under a radio channel environment which allows high-speed data processing.
2. Description of the Related Art
Typical CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile communication systems provide mainly voice service, but the IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunications-2000) standard has been developed to additionally provide high-speed data transmission. IMT-2000 mobile communication systems are capable of transmitting high quality voice and moving pictures, as well as Internet browsing.
A CDMA mobile communication system is comprised of a BS including a BTS and a BSC, a mobile switching center (MSC), and a mobile station (MS). Radio links between an MS and a BTS include a forward link directed from the BTS to the MS and a reverse link directed from the MS to the BTS.
All channels are divided into physical channels and logical channels. A logical channel is set on a physical channel and it is possible that a plurality of logical channels are set on one physical channel. If the physical channel is released, the logical channels are automatically released. However, a physical channel is not necessarily created to set up a new logical channel. If a physical channel that can carry another logical channel has already been occupied for other logical channels, all that should be done is to assign the new logical channel to the already established physical channel.
Physical channels are categorized into dedicated channels and common channels according to their characteristics. The dedicated channels are so named because they are dedicated to communication between a BS and a particular MS, and include a fundamental channel (FCH), a dedicated control channel (DCCH), and a SCH. The FCH, compatibly used with TIA/EIA-95-B, transmits voice, data, and signaling signals. The common channels indicate channels, commonly shared by a BS and a plurality of MSs. A forward physical channel transmitted to the MSs from the BS is a paging channel, and a reverse channel transmitted to the BS from an MS is an access channel. These common channels are compatible with IS-95-B.
Data communication in a mobile communication system is characterized by bursts of concentrated data transmission interspersed between long periods of no data transmission. Accordingly, the next generation mobile communication system is developed in such a way that it can operate in a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode in which a dedicated channel is only assigned when there is data to be transmitted.
In the DTX mode, frame data is transmitted only when transmission data exists in a wired communication system or in a mobile communication system. Hence, if transmission data is absent for a predetermined time period in the DTX mode, frame data is not transmitted. The DTX mode has the distinctive advantages of minimum transmission power, reduction of the strength of interference which adversely affects the system, and increase of total system capacity.
The DTX mode is supported on a DCCH and an SCH. Because of this, the DCCH can be used as a control channel which provides an efficient packet service. In DTX mode, null frames are transmitted on the DCCH for power control and no data is transmitted on the SCH. Considering limited radio resources, BS capacity, and power consumption of an MS, dedicated traffic and control channels are connected only during actual data transmission and released during non-transmission periods while in the DTX mode. Communication is conducted on a common channel while the dedicated channels are released. As a result, the usage efficiency of the radio resources is increased. Various channel states are set according to channel assignment and the presence or absence of state information in order to implement the DTX mode.
FIG. 1 is a state transition diagram for a typical packet service in a mobile communication system.
Referring to FIG. 1, a packet service is comprised of an active state 11, a control hold state 12, a suspended state 13, a dormant state 14, a packet null state 15, and an initialization state 10. Service options are connected in the control hold state 12, the active state 11, and the suspended state 13. It is to be noted herein that the present invention pertains to a base station which supports the DTX mode on an SCH and a DCCH in the active state 11 and the control hold state 12.
FIG. 2 illustrates a reference model of 3G IOS (Interoperability Specifications) for a digital air interface between an MSC and a BS and between BSs in a general mobile communication system.
Referring to FIG. 2, an A1 interface and an A2/A5 (exclusive for circuit data) interface are defined for transmitting a signal and transmitting user information, respectively, between an MSC 20 and a BSC 32. An A3 interface is defined to connect a target BS 40 to a frame selection/distribution function unit (SDU) 34 of a source BS 30 for soft/softer handoff between BSs. Using the A3 interface, signaling and user data are transmitted between the target BS 40 and the SDU 34 of the source BS 30. An A7 interface is defined to transmit/receive signals between the target BS 40 and the source BS 30 for soft/softer handoff between BSs. Wired communications links between the BSs 30 and 40 and between the BS 30 and the MSC 20 are a forward link directed from the MSC 20 to the BS 30, a reverse link directed from the BS 30 to the MSC 20, and a link connected between the BSs 30 and 40. The MSC 20 has a call control & mobility management block 22 and a switch 24. The MSC 20 is connected to a data network (not shown) such as the Internet via an inter-working function (IWF) block 50.
FIG. 3 illustrates a signal flow by which an SCH is established between a source BS and a target BS in conventional technology. This procedure is executed to establish an SCH between the source BS and the target BS when a large amount of high rate data is received from an external Packet Data Service Node (PDSN) or data is to be transmitted by assigning the SCH upon call origination from an MS.
Referring to FIG. 3, the source BS 30 recognizes that an MS has origination/termination data to transmit/receive to/from another MS or the PSDN (3 a). Then, the source BS 30 determines a traffic burst required during service instance support, selects the target BS 40 which will assist the determined traffic burst, and transmits a burst request message (A7-Burst Request msg.) to the target BS 40, requesting reservation of necessary resources (3 b). The target BS 40 checks whether part or all of the requested resources are available and transmits a burst response message (A7-Burst Response msg.) including information about the resources committed for the traffic burst to the source BS 30 (3 c). Meanwhile, the source BS 30 awaits receipt of the burst response message for a first predetermined time Tbstreq after transmission of the burst request message. Upon receipt of the burst response message within Tbstreq, the source BS 30 prepares a set of frame selectors based on the information of the burst response message and transmits a burst activate message (A7-Burst Activate msg.), which indicates a set of the committed resources to be actually used, to the target BS 40 (3 d). If timer Tbstreq expires, the source BS may choose to send an A7-Burst Request message again.
Meanwhile, the target BS 40 awaits receipt of the burst activate message for a second predetermined time Thstcom after transmission of the burst response message. If the target BS 40 receives the burst activate message within Tbstcom, it transmits a connect message (A3-connect msg.), which is for connecting all cell resources to be used for the traffic burst to the designated frame selectors, to the source BS 30 (3 e). The source BS 30 transmits a connect acknowledgment message (A3-connect Ack msg.) to the target BS 40, notifying the target BS 40 that physical channels to support the traffic burst are ready (3 f). If timer Thstcom expires, the target BS may decommit all radio resources committed for the cell(s) included in this message. Meanwhile, the target BS 40 awaits receipt of the connect acknowledgment message for a third predetermined time Tconn3 after transmission of the connect message. If the target BS 40 receives the connect acknowledgment message within Tconn3, it transmits a burst activate acknowledgment message (A7-Burst Activate Ack. msg.) to the source BS 30 (3 g). If timer Tconn3 expires, the BS shall include all new cells that would have been added by the A3-Connect message to the list of non-committed cells in the A7-Burst Response message.
Meanwhile, the source BS 30 awaits receipt of the burst activate acknowledgment message for a fourth predetermined time Tbstact after transmission of the burst activate message in step 3 d. If the source BS 30 receives the burst activate acknowledgment message within Tbstact, it transmits a command through a scan message (SCAM_msg.) to an MS, ordering the MS to prepare for the traffic burst (3 h). Then, the MS a layer 2 acknowledgment message (Layer 2 Ack. msg.) to the source BS 30 in response to the scan message (3 i). The network and the MS exchange forward or reverse traffic burst information for a predetermined time period or until the source BS 30 expands or ends the traffic burst (3 j). If timer Tbstact expires, the source BS may choose to resend this message, to terminate traffic burst preparations, or to request that the MSC clear the call association.
The structure of the burst request message transmitted in step 3 b is shown in Table 1. The burst request message is an A7 interface message by which a source BS requests reservation of resources to support data traffic burst to a target BS.

As shown in Table 6, since the Physical Channel Type field only defines IS-95 channels, and not CDMA-2000 channels, when the CDMA-2000 standard is applied to a mobile communication system, the Base Stations will not be able to identify channels because the CDMA-2000 channels will be confued with IS-95 channels.

As noted from Table 7, only the AAL2 (ATM Adaptation Layer 2) protocol, which is used for voice service, is defined in the protocol stack used for the A3 traffic channel. Therefore, the protocol stack is not fit for high rate data.
Burst Timing included in the burst request message (A7-Burst Request msg.) shown in Table 1 and the burst response message (A7-Burst Response msg.) shown in Table 2 have the following information elements, shown below in Table 8.

The above-described conventional technology has the following problems within a BS and between BSs, not with a radio link between a BS and an MS.
There is no way to discriminate between the FCH and SCH in the IS-95B standard and the FCH, DCCH, and SCH in the CDMA-2000 standard with the Frame Selector Info fields shown in Table 5 in the procedure shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, a BS cannot adequately identify channels. Furthermore, high rate data cannot be transmitted since only the AAL2 protocol, which is used for voice service, is defined in the A3 Traffic Channel Protocol Stack.
The duration and start time of a data burst cannot be supported on a concurrent bi-directional SCH or SCCH with the burst timing message of Table 8. The DTX duration of a reverse SCH and SCCH is not provided, thereby making it impossible to perform rapid packet service in a BS. Consequently, a new method should be explored to process high rate data.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a method of enabling a BTS to identify channels by defining an identification (ID) which discriminates between the fundamental and supplemental channels (FCH and SCH) of the IS-95B standard and the fundamental, dedicated control, and supplemental channels (FCH, DCCH, and SCH) of the CDMA-2000 standard in a message transmitted to or received from a BS.
It is another object of the present invention to provide the AAL5 (ATM Adaptation Layer 5) protocol, which is used to effectively transmit high rate data, in an A3 traffic channel protocol stack field.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a burst timing message which is defined to support the duration and start time of a data burst on a concurrent bi-directional SCH or SCCH as well as to provide the DTX duration of a reverse SCH and SCCH.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method of defining forward and reverse burst timing messages in one message or defining them separately to be available in either direction as well as both directions, and expressing the start time of a burst in various units, to thereby implement a burst operation at a more accurate time.
These and other objects are achieved by providing a method of establishing an SCH which allows for burst timing for high-speed data transmission in a mobile communication system. In the SCH establishing method, a source base station transceiver determines a traffic burst and sends a target base station transceiver a burst request message including forward and reverse burst timing information and having channel use time, which is determined in consideration of a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode in order to reserve necessary resources, when a large amount of high rate data is to be transmitted. Then, the target base station transceiver sends the source base station transceiver a burst response message including information about resources committed to the traffic burst.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate channel identification in a BTS, an ID field is formed to discriminate between an FCH and an SCH in the IS-95B standard and an FCH, a DCCH, and an SCH in the IS-2000 standard in a field of the Frame Selector Info information element defined in a signal message transmitted or received within a BS. A message containing the frame selector information can be the burst request message of Table 1 or the burst activate message of Table 3, both of which were mentioned earlier in the description of the prior art.
Table 9 illustrates a modified Physical Channel Type field in the Frame Selector Info information element according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In Table 9, the IS-95 FCH and the IS-95B SCH are defined as 01H and 02H, respectively. The FCH, DCCH, and SCH of CDMA-2000 are defined as 03H, 04H, and 05H. Thus, the FCH and SCH of IS-95B can be distinguished from the FCH, DCCH, and SCH of IS-2000.
The A3 Traffic Channel Protocol Stack field of Table 5 is modified as shown below in order to support the AAL5 protocol, which is appropriate for transmission of high rate data, in an A3 traffic channel protocol.

In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the definition of the message fields as shown in Tables 9 and 10 allows a BTS both to distinguish the FCH and SCH of IS-95B from the FCH, DCCH, and SCH of CDMA-2000 and to transmit high rate data.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention defines a new burst timing message. The burst timing message as shown in Table 11 can support the duration and start time of data burst concurrently on bi-directional FCHs or SCHs and provide the burst DTX duration of a reverse SCH and SCCH.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of receiving a burst timing message according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The procedure will be described in the context of separately defined forward and reverse burst timing messages shown in Tables 12 and 13.
Referring to FIG. 4, a BTS determines whether a burst timing message received from a BSC is forward link or reverse link information in step 101. If it is forward link information, the BTS reads the Action Time Unit field from the burst timing message and determines an action time unit for a time point when an SCH or SCCH is to be assigned in step 102.
The BTS determines whether the burst duration to be assigned is set to infinite in the burst timing message in step 103. If the burst duration is not set to infinite, the BTS sets a burst duration to a value in the message on an 80-ms basis in step 104, and then initiates assignment of a forward SCH or SCCH at an action (or start) time set in the message in step 105.
Meanwhile, if the burst duration is set to infinite in step 103, the BTS sets the burst duration to be maintained until an SCH or SCCH service released or a dormant state is entered in step 104-1. Here, the service covers all services provided on an SCH or SCCH, including packet, circuit, and ISDN services. After the burst duration is set, the BTS initiates assignment of the forward SCH or SCCH at the action (or start) time set in the message in step 105 a.
If the burst timing message received from the BSC is reverse link information in step 101, the BTS reads the Action Time Unit field from the burst timing message and determines an action time unit for a time point when an SCH or SCCH is to be assigned in step 102 a.
The BTS determines whether the burst duration to be assigned is set to infinite in the burst timing message in step 103 a. If the burst duration is not set to infinite, the BTS sets the burst duration to a value in the message on an 80-ms basis in step 104 a. In step 105-1, the BTS reads the maximum reverse DTX_Duration field and sets maximum DTX_Duration on a 10-ms basis for the reverse SCH or SCCH receiver. In addition, the BTS sets the Begin Preamble and Resume Preamble when the SCH or SCCH is assigned. Finally, the BTS initiates assignment of the reverse SCH or SCCH at the action (or start) time set in the message.
If the burst duration is set to infinite in step 103 a, the BTS sets the burst duration to be maintained until an SCH or SCCH service is released or a dormant state is entered in step 104-1 a. Here, the service covers all services provided on an SCH or SCCH, including packet, circuit, and ISDN services. In step 105-1 a, the BTS reads the maximum reverse DTX_Duration field and sets maximum DTX_Duration on a 10-ms basis for the reverse SCH or SCCH receiver. On addition, the BTS sets the Begin Preamble and Resume Preamble when the SCH or SCCH is assigned. Finally, the BTS initiates assignment of the reverse SCH or SCCH at the action (or start) time set in the message.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention as described above, when a BTS transmits a high rate data burst on a physical channel, 1) the AAL5 protocol can be supported in an A3 traffic channel protocol, 2) the FCH and SCH of the IS-95B standard can be distinguished from the FCH, DCCH, and SCH of the CDMA-2000 standard, and 3) high rate data can be effectively transmitted through an A3 interface. Another advantage of the present invention is that the duration, start time, and start time unit of forward and reverse data burst on an SCH or SCCH is provided through
a newly defined burst timing message to thereby designate a more accurate burst action time. Furthermore, a reverse DTX duration is provided so as to support bi-directional high rate packet data.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to a certain preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
